Do you have astigmatism and need to wear
contact lenses? Here are your options: A soft lens can correct everything from
0, 75 diopters and up. A Toric lens has been designed to correct multiple
different issues with your eyes such as the astigmatism or spherical issues which
are the reasons for nearsightedness or farsightedness.

If you have 0.75 diopters of astigmatism
then in general you will benefit from wearing a toric lens –your vision will
improve, but you should try them on first to see if are comfortable for you.
Usually contact lenses that correct astigmatisms
cost more so if you are tired of wearing those lenses you could try switching
to a toric lens and see if it helps.

Lenses Online sell both Toric lenses and a
range of soft contact lenses suited to those with astigmatism.

Which Toric lens should you wear? If you
are trying contact lenses for the very first time, it would be probably better
to try different lenses on at your ophthalmologist. This way you can find which
lenses fit your eye. Your eye doctor can go through a range of lenses with you
